In the blink of an eye, National Service is over for me. Although I still do not like the idea of conscription, I must admit that I have learnt many valuable lessons and made many friends along the way.

There are simply too many lessons to mention and too many people to thank, but I appreciate every single one of them and will always keep them closely to my heart.

But Time has not been understanding, and I was not spared from the ageing process simply because I was wasting time serving our country.

I have mapped out plans for myself, plans that I will slowly achieve one step at a time. There is a lot to do with so little time, and time is something I can no longer afford to waste.
